Hi. Does anyone know what size and length bolts are needed to mount the V6 engine onto a universal type engine stand? Many thanks.

Hello,
Yore engine stand should have come with the required bolts.
You can mount the engine via the clutch (front) side of the engine using the gearbox bolts however if your doing a complete rebuild you will need to either make or acquire the mount the attaches to the back (Right side) of the engine after removing the exhaust manifold and the EGR valve assembly.

Thanks @rax I will look at this when I get the engine out in a couple of weeks time.
